The greenhouse effect refers to the way the sun's infrared heat radiates up from the warmed surface of the earth where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The more gases there are, the more heat is absorbed.

The natural greenhouse effect is supported by the water and carbon cycles. This has kept the earth warm enough for life for millions of years.

The accelerated greenhouse effect is now being caused by extra greenhouse gases which the carbon cycle can not deal with. This is causing global warming.

A:

The popular view is that the atmosphere has some sort of layer of carbon dioxide "up there" that reflects heat back down to Earth rather than letting it escape to space. That would be like the glass on a greenhouse trapping warm air in while letting the sunlight through to increase the heat. In a greenhouse the sunlight warms the benches and floor, the warm objects heat the air, the air is trapped by the double layer of insulating glass.

It does not happen that way.

Sunlight comes in and warms the Earth's surface. It warms the gases in the air too, at least some of them with a bond size that gets excited by sunlight. These special gases are greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour and a few others). They are mixed evenly through all of the atmosphere (not in layer). When the gases are warm they share their heat with all their gas molecule neighbour and heat the atmosphere generally.

The effect is more like wet sand in a microwave. Microwaves do not heat sand. They do heat water. When you microwave wet sand, the water heats up - might even turn to steam. The hot water warms the sand.

The Heat energy contained within incident photonic Sunlight enters Our Atmospheric-based Biosphere and is trapped, as in it is not allowed to escape, as in it cannot be re-radiated back out into Space. It remains to heat both Our Earth and Oceans.

The greenhouse effect is one of the main reasons why earth is the habitable planet that we live on today. It is where there is a layer around earth called the "atmosphere". At certain angles it allows sunlight and heat through, but when this heat is reflected off the surface of our planet, not all is able to escape. This creates warm conditions o earth where plants and animals can live and grow very well. Something that adds to the greenhouse effect is the Carbon Dioxide released mainly by cars, volcanos, and coal-fired power stations. The gas builds in the layer of the atmosphere that reflects heat back, making it thicker, causing more heat to be reflected back. This is one theoretical reason why Global Warming may be occurring, and many scientists have used it as evidence to prove their theories that the high amounts of Carbon Dioxide released into the atmosphere are what are causing the world's climate change problems.
